How active is development of Linkding? Seems there hasn’t been a commit in 2 months or so.
While I wouldn’t expose such a service to the internet it’s still a bit worrying with the amount of CVEs coming out. Like these that haven’t been addressed https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/issues/1527, https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/issues/1518
They get some bonus points for this in their FAQ for sure!
Is there a Readeck twitter account?
There isn’t but you can follow @readeck@mastodon.online on Mastodon.
Is the a Readeck Discord server?
There isn’t but you can join #readeck:matrix.org on Matrix.
Oh okay, I just assumed the main method to redirect the vendor cloud connections to the local valetudo was based on the patch DNS parts in dustbuilder that seems present on most models, but if you say more is required elsewhere to block vendor cloud connections I’m sure that’s true.
In any case your work is highly appreciated! And i didn’t mean to suggest that it hasn’t taken a massive amount of work overall to make valetudo work as well as it does.
It’s just DNS based, and iirc dont require any major effort other than patching the hosts file. Of course it is possible it is not enough, but I have high confidence in the authors after also having watched various talks at I.e DEFCON, that i would be surprised if they missed the firmware doing other nasty things.
Patching DNS is specifically possible to enable/disable on the firmware build tool: I.e https://builder.dontvacuum.me/_dreame_r2416.html and the source for that is here https://github.com/dgiese/dustbuilder-script-public/blob/7afed16999711833a8ac0b3b482e935c3ef77219/modifys8image.sh#L169
Valetudo actively blocks the cloud connections. Also, only firmware versions specifically installed with Valetudo is supported (so no chance an update to the original device firmware happens, and does new things).
I think there’s a very low chance something escapes to the vendor cloud.
None the less, I personally run these on a separate VLAN without internet access.
There’s an ongoing case about duress pin use

Wouldn’t the private space functionality work for that?
Or create full separate user profile, although thay is much less convenient.
They also make great projectors.
On the TV side, they sold 51% to Chinese TCL, so I expect things will start going downhill fast from here, which is a shame.
Where are people moving to from Vimeo?
I run mailcow on a vps on a smaller, reputable, European host. I started out with Hetzner but there I had problems with delivery due to a bad neighbourhood. It really helps with a host that cares and take abuse seriously.
After moving it’s mostly been good. I don’t have any issues with outgoing mail, all seems to land fine on both gmail/outlook etc. It’s pretty low effort, just need to stay on top of upgrades since there are internet exposed services.
Here is also a good post about best practice for smaller servers: https://bridge.grumpy-troll.org/2020/07/small-mailserver-bcp/
I have a filter that encrypts all incoming mail with my pgp public key, for added security (this is not bullet proof as it has to sit after rspamd but should make it harder to read any mails in case of any kinds of breaches).
